Jumpers; Clear Cmos (Cmos1) - BCM RX680R User Manual

1.6 Jumpers

1.6.1 Clear CMOS (CMOS1)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear
the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC
RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which includes
system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (default) to pins 1-2. Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for
about10~20 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 2-3.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC
jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
